Trampolines must meet specific safety standards, such as the EN71-14:2018 in the UK, which ensures they are sturdily built with secure netting and padding. Regular maintenance and inspections are crucial to ensure the equipment remains safe. This includes checking for wear and tear, ensuring padding is intact, and verifying that springs and frames are secure.
